Hey I just read your message, hope you get it:

I'm actually a big reader of Wild Bill Hickok. He's one of my favorites to read about, I can help you out in that area.

There are four major book on Hickok. The ultimate author/authority of Bill Hickok is Joseph G. Rosa. He's been researching Hickok since the sixties. He's published 4 books, I have them all so here they are:

1964 They Called Him Wild Bill: The Life & Adventures of James Butler Hickok, this is the ultimate Hickok biography. It seperates Fact from Fiction, those that know a lot about Hickok there's more Legend then man, its very complex to research. But Rosa did it, its the most factual biography on Hickok from beginning to end. Its the best book. Its 377 pages too.

1982 The West of Wild Bill Hickok, Like all Rosa's Hickok books there an absolute must, this one is 223 pages, its thourough. It has every picture that has been found of Bill Hickok, there all in this book, not only that but pics of cities/towns ie: Deadwood 1876 etc. along with Hickok's friends/families and foes, as well as his letters. It explains the history of the photo, the time taken, the book explains the history of photography and what the photographers used and their hardships thru the west. I guess Hickok was only two when the first American photo was taken in 1839. The book describes a thorough biography of the time and what occured with and around Hickok during that time.

1996 Wild Bill Hickok: The Man & His Myth, Another must have, its sections deal with legend/myth and a real man. It has all the legend stories and clears up curiosities of what really happened it sheds new light on the first book. It is 272 pages.

2003 Wild Bill Hickok Gunfighter: An Account of Hickok's Gunfights, a great book, new light has been added to this and its in great order, the title speeks for itself. 216 pages.

I recommend you read the 1964 book first, if your really interested I suggest you read all the books! As for other books, I'm not wasting my time reading them a lot or fabricated and such. Rosa's books include details of other publications and their wrong doings. I suggest you stick with Rosa's books if you want the ultimate truth that can be given of Hickok's life.

I hope someone reads this and responds to it.

Thanks.

Hey Marcelle, thank you for the Earp book details. Say I'm curious have you ever read a book on Wild Bill? If you haven't you should check it out.
